    There will be no difference between the sports and bets offered in Delaware and those available in Nevada, said Joe Asher, president and CEO of Brandywine Bookmaking, the company tapped by Delaware to provide odds in the state.

      Same juice Fish.And get this......two of the tracks are going to offer NCAA and NFL pick contests....$250 buyins, 100 buyins.

      I will make the trip for the contest alone. I just don't trust those proxies in Vegas.

            . This needs to be in other states.. DE of all places makes no sense.

              My buddies just said the same thing to me.

              There are three great golf courses in that area....and the idea of a golf/football betting pad seems pretty cool.

                    This is going to be huge. They will get play from Philly/Baltimore/Southern Jersey/Southern Pennsyvlania.

                    I don't see anyone taking a vacation trip to Delaware just to play the sports books, but I can see the neighboring states supporting it.

                    I-95 access from Philly pretty much guarantees some Pennsylvania traffic.

                        This is good news for the state of Delaware and the east coast. Should bring in extra revenue for the state. Wish this would be legal in all states including online gambling. Don't know why the NFL and NCAA are so against it especially the NCAA. The only reason people watch a shit Tuesday night matchup between Western Michigan and Central Michigan is if they have money on the game.

                          Just a question. Are they going to offer the exact same deal they have in Nevada? Or will this be like watered-down blackjack tables they have available in California? It's blackjack... but it's not blackjack

                                  If Imega gets the federal sports gambling ban overturned, New Jersey will up and running real quick.Followed By Connecticut and Mass. Cristie Mihos a Mass. gubernatorial candidate has already said he would be in if the ban is overturned.

                                              Delaware is a poor state which might hurt them a little, are people from NY City and NJ going to drive 3hrs to make a bet?
